| Summary: | This paper presents the analysis of uplift load tests in three
precast-concrete piles carried out in a collapsible sandy soil.
The piles with 12 meters (m) length and 0.17 x 0.17 square
meter (m2) cross section were instrumented with strain gauges,
in order to know the load transfer in depth. Three tests
performed in a slow maintained load way were conducted
in a natural condition of moisture content soil. A fourth test
was carried out after the previous soaking of the soil around
the pile head. The tests were performed in the experimental
research site at the Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de
Mesquita Filho (Unesp). The results obtained were evaluated
by analytical and empirical methods. |
